FINE PRINT- If you want to go into the running to win (jackpot) some valentines day flowers then comment below. FINER PRINT it would be really excellent if you lived in sydney, because maybe if i have to drive / canoe to your penthouse in new york, the flowers might (will) die a little bit.

Science Fiction

Lab coats on, test tubes ready.

Lets dust bust this myth buster!

OBJECTIVE: Can we change the colour of a rose?

OUTCOME: For Shiz Niz we can!

                   

Once I realised that this was a completely outrageous success I started getting bizzy with it. And I thought, just maybe, you could raise the viscosity by adding a complex pigment derivative during the absorbing process and it turns out I was right. Which is simple terms means, I swapped the stems into the opposite ink tube. See how the blue has pink tips now?

          

AND FINALLY 

Hand painted roses. You can buy these for $ 500 a stem if you want.

Pickled Pomegranates & Flaming Hail Marys

Sounds like a cocktail that would have you singing karaoke in no time don't you think?

Well sadly, I haven't turned into a cocktail shaker maker, Pickled Pomegranates & Flaming Hail Marys is the title of my new post. Yesterdaisy, I found these cool baby pomegranates from one of the kindest and smiliest growers at the flower markets. 

I might cut one open and see what's in side. i hope its chocolate.

Pineapples in Trinidad

Whilst at Harris Farm doing my nightly grocery shop, I saw some pineapple flowers. 

I was feeling all sentimental and had to buy them, they were the first bunch of flowers I ever bought for mylee, having never bought pinapple flowers for myself, I thought it was high time. Anyway, at the check out I placed the flowers on the thingy and then went to pay for my purchases. When I checked the receipt, I noticed that the check out dude had not charged me for the flowers. 

 

Now, I ask you� Technically- would you call that stealing?

OR do you think he gave them to me?

 

If anybody asks, Ive gone to Trinidad

FAFA CLUB

WELCOME TO FAFA- FLORA AND FAUNA ANONYMOUS 

You know you need to attend FAFA support meetings when �

You would rather buy potting mix than new shoes

Instead of inviting people out for dinner, you invite them to the flower markets
You only read books if they have pictures of flowers in them

Your friends are wanted by neighbourhood watch for thieving hydrangeas in the dark

If you feel that you need to talk to someone about your FAFA addiction, or if you have a garden you just absolutely must share with the nerdgeeks on the interweb, reach out...
we will hold your hand. 
Each week I will document the gardens of the FAFA members. HOW EXCITING.

Happy Birthday WORLD

The flowerdrum's peace offering to 2011

love you all

Honeysuckle Heineken

This is Paul, he likes dressing up like a bumble bee, growing and selling flowers and getting on the tins. I was paying for my purchases when I noticed pauls hand wrapped firmly around a svitzing bottle of Heineken. I said, hey you guy, are you drinking a beer? And he said yes. And I said, its very early, and he said yes it is.

This sign goes with Paul's outfit.
